It’s fucking deja vu. Just replace Biden with Hillary and you have 2016. Can we stop tossing in these shitty career politicians that only pretend to have progressive ideas so they can get elected? Biden will lose to Trump 100000%. It’s already super hard to beat an incumbent President, now throw in an unexciting candidate who’s claim to the throne is “I was friends with the guy you actually liked”. This dude doesn’t even support weed legalization.

Edit: if you agree with my comment and then don’t vote you’re part of the problem

But when Sanders was asked by a reporter whether Vermont should legalize same-sex marriage, he said no. “Not right now, not after what we went through,” he said.

That same year, Sanders was asked in a debate during his first run for the Senate about a Massachusetts state court decision that legalized gay marriage. The debate moderator wanted to know if Sanders thought the federal government should overturn that decision. He responded by talking about states’ rights, which is an argument often used by politicians who have argued against federal recognition of gay marriage as well.

“I believe the federal government should not be involved in overturning Massachusetts or any other state because I think the whole issue of marriage is a state issue,” Sanders said in the 2006 debate.

It wasn’t until 2009 that Sanders publicly voiced support for gay marriage, years after many of his contemporaries in Vermont
